1: Make sure to be respectful of one another and make sure that your posts, memes, etc. at least stays in the realm of PG-13.
2: Memes, gifs, etc. are welcome and strongly encouraged.
3: There are no other rules.

Ready, set, GO!

    Pretty sure if folks stay within the realm of PG-13 - i.e. follow my first rule - they won't fall afoul of the Forum CoC (or at least, they shouldn't), but thanks for the reminder nonetheless!

    Since portals and teleportation exists in the game, why is there no time travel?

    There has to be an secretly technological advanced society in Tamriel somewhere. With the dwarf technology, khajiits finding a way to get to the moon, and magic, it should exist.

    Are we "hanging out," or just merely "circling in a holding pattern" and expressing our anxiety by posting in forums?

    I mean, that's what I'm doing...

    I wanted to share this funny experience somewhere :)

    How many people it takes to close a portal on the last boss in normal Cloudrest trial?

    Usually 2 or 3 people... But after this group wiped two times, 8 people suddenly went in :D

    The only time I had a genuine laugh during any trial. But they closed the portal, so it was a valid tactic :smiley:

    -sets up camp- Anyone else regretting not doing their endeavors early today? XD Hurts me right in the FOMO.

    But, on a positive note, at least I now have time to work on my ESO themed amigurumi projects (crocheted plushes) time to write that Isobel pattern I've been meaning to get to.



    Legends never die
    They're written down in eternity
    But you'll never see the price it costs
    The scars collected all their lives
    When everything's lost, they pick up their hearts and avenge defeat
    Before it all starts, they suffer through harm just to touch a dream
    Oh, pick yourself up, 'cause
    Legends never die

    As a former college student, you got my sympathies.
    -sets up camp- Anyone else regretting not doing their endeavors early today? XD Hurts me right in the FOMO.

    A tad bit. I also will miss at least one of the daily rewards from the calendar now, assuming the 12+ hour downtime estimate is accurate - and I've no reason to suspect it isn't.

    True - and I have time to finish the weeklies/dailies I've been meaning to do but putting off in favor of the Golden Pursuits.

    Yeah, piece of advice - if something sounds too good to be true - it probably is.

    I have been working all day so couldn't have done them earlier anyway. Less annoyed about that than missing out on the last day of the months login reward, which I can't even remember what it is but anything free is always welcome to me.

    I thought at first it was my internet having issues. Yesterday I lost my internet for most of the day and I thought it was that acting up again. Was about to shift my cat from my legs to go faff about with the router again. Was not looking forward to her extremely put out expression again. Saw enough of it last night.

    In fact, here is an older picture of her annoyed face.

    My plus note is that it gives me time to catch up in my Wordscapes midweek tournament.

    You've had nature explained to you and you're bored with it, you've had the living body explained to you and you're bored with it, you've had the universe explained to you and you're bored with it, so now you want cheap thrills and, like, plenty of them....

    Yes, I do. I skipped my usual half hour of play in the morning because I had to start work early.
    I also regret telling myself to be a responsible adult and do the dishes first when I got home, instead of logging right in. The trouble seems to have started at the exact moment I was done and wiped the counter.

    But at least I've got a clean kitchen now, and plenty of time to cook a decent meal. We're having mushroom soup, I'll just pretend it is Telvanni.
